It’s #WorldNoTobaccoDay
🚫 WHO FCTC urges governments to prohibit ingredients that increase product attractiveness and palatability — like flavours and sweeteners.
These additives are designed to hook youth and mask the harm. It's time to act.
#FCTCSavesLives #TobaccoExposed #WorldNoTobaccoDay #WNTD2025
Regulation is just the start.
We need bold action:
✅ Ban flavours
✅ Plain packaging
✅ No youth-targeted design
✅ End influencer marketing
Let’s protect our children and the future generations from addiction.

The WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (WHO FCTC) is a landmark global treaty dedicated to protecting lives from the devastating harms of tobacco. It has been instrumental in combating the global tobacco epidemic and promoting public health worldwide.

As one of the most widely adopted treaties in UN history, the WHO FCTC represents a collective commitment to a healthier, tobacco-free future.

This year, we proudly celebrate 20 years since its entry into force.

Join us as we mark this significant milestone with our 20th-anniversary campaign.

Stay tuned for more updates❗️

Things are often not quite as they seem.

✖️The tobacco industries project themselves as champions of good well-being, economic growth, and environmental sustainability.

This sounds good, right? But let's examine this closely:

While they're keeping up the appearance of making commendable commitments, the fact is that it is still business as usual: Producing & promoting a product that is responsible for the deaths of over 8 million people every year.

Is that in line with Goal 3⚕️💚 - Good Health & Well-being?

🎭This is the duplicity we face: An industry pledging support to global goals, while their core product works directly against them.💀

👉We must hold these corporations accountable and shut the door on any lies they spread about being responsible corporate citizens.

It's time we saw through the smokescreen. It’s time to clear the air - together.

Tackling tobacco use in Nigeria requires more than just policies, it needs funding!

Dangerously, today the “scene” for tobacco companies to access youth is through social media. #TobaccoExposed https://t.co/YgAqaNlyIL

[Tobacco-Free Kids Global @CTFKGlobal]

We’re proud to share a powerful documentary highlighting the remarkable journey of tobacco control advocacy in Nigeria. From the 2019 regulations to youth-driven campaigns like "Don’t Wait, Regulate" and "Clear the Air," passionate young advocates are leading the charge against Big Tobacco and driving real change.

Backed by @Gatefieldco, Nigeria Tobacco Control Alliance, Corporate Accountability & Public Participation Africa, and through initiatives like #SmokeFreeNollywood, these efforts are paving the way for a healthier, tobacco-free future for Nigeria.

Watch the full documentary here and help spread the message by sharing it with your networks.

There are no safe tobacco products. The smoke from a hookah still contains high levels of toxic chemicals, and hookah smoking delivers the addictive drug nicotine. Nicotine can change the way the brain works, causing cravings for more of it. https://t.co/wtLSj06JMm

[Union for International #CancerControl @uicc]

Smoking among youth remains prevalent and is increasing in certain nations. Worldwide, an estimated 38 million boys and girls aged 13–15 consume tobacco products, according to WHO.
